Sarcos and Palantir: The Unique Relationship

The mission and vision of Sarcos is simple: prevent injury and save lives. The company has two different platforms – the XT upper extremity robotic platform and the full body exoskeleton. The Sarcos robots are different from traditional robots as they can perform multiple tasks without requiring reprogramming.

What makes the partnership of Sarcos and Palantir so unique is the advancement they are making in AI, machine learning, and cloud computing. Palantir provides the toolset that allows Sarcos to run these models and understand what's happening in real-time.

Platforms Offered by Sarcos

The XT Platform

The XT platform is an upper extremity robot with two arms and a torso. These arms are anthropomorphic to human arms and can be operated either in teleoperation mode or from the ground or a distance.

The Exoskeleton Platform

The full body exoskeleton can lift 150-200 pounds and allows the user to feel like they're lifting only 10-15 pounds.

The Scope of Robotics

Traditionally, robotics is associated with a factory line in which the robots repeat the same task over and over again. But with Sarcos robots, a single robot can perform all those tasks.

Focus on Commercialization

The core focus of Sarcos at present is to help them with commercialization. Using Apollo, Sarcos can manage their fleet of robots at Scale and deploy software and updates across their fleet Instantly. Foundry Edge can help Sarcos to Collect the data off the robots and analyze it in a way that is cost-effective.

Foundry Edge: A Game Changer

Foundry Edge can contribute on many levels at Sarcos. It can analyze the data, project time series, and understand what's happening on the robots over time. Data can be passed to Foundry for forensic analysis to identify faults and areas for improvement.

Palantir's Role in Enabling AI

Palantir can serve as Sarcos infrastructure to deploy artificial intelligence on the robots, allowing their engineers to iterate on the algorithms that make the Sarcos robots unique.

Microservices and Computing at the Edge

With microservices, software and firmware can be updated remotely without requiring technicians to attend the site. Computing at the edge enables the models to be stored in Foundry and pushed to the edge devices, allowing for adaptation to new situations and tasks without requiring connectivity.

Core Capabilities from Foundry

Branching, versioning, and provenance are core capabilities of Foundry that are helping to accelerate Sarcos's product roadmap development.

Helping Sarcos Build Semi-Autonomous or Autonomous Technology

The aim is to help Sarcos launch their Robot as a Service across various industries and as many customers as possible. Sarcos, with the help of Palantir, aims to build semi-autonomous or autonomous technology for Industry 4.0.
